55 flights arrive in Canada with passengers infected with coronavirus

After landing, at least one person on all 55 of these flights tested positive for the virus.

These flights mostly landed at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, but there have been cases also in Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary.

Considering the enclosed nature of an airplane, it almost goes without saying how easy it is for the virus to be transmitted in such a situation.

Anybody who returns to Canada from abroad is still required to shelter in place for at least 14 days upon arrival, without any exceptions, as per the Quarantine Act.

It is also still advised for Canadians not to leave the country for any reason outside of essential travel. Land borders remain currently closed.

Here are all the affected flights between August 1st and August 18th. Passengers concerned about potential exposure to the coronavirus are recommended to contact their doctors and ask to be tested for the virus.
